this comes from an article by alec mcgillis. there was a time as governor when romney actually did think we should be trying to lower gas prices. he said, an i quote here, i don't think now is the time. he was talking about repealing the gas tax. i'm not sure there will be the right time to encourage the use of more gasoline. i'm very much in favor of people recognizing the high gasoline prices are probably here to stay. this gets to a big thing. the reason he was saying that in massachusetts. the reason he said lowering gasoline prices is not necessarily his purpose is there was a time when both parties believes climate change was a real threat. we wanted to signal to the market. republicans no longer believe that, and you notice tonight, we did not hear anything about climate change. >> ezra klein, thank you very much for that. chris hayes with the audible grunt on climate change. >> having an energy conversation without talking about climate is like talking about smoking and not talking about cancer. you can't talk about it u
